Your caliper is stuck, so it is dragging your pads. Park your car on the incline, put it in Nutral and see if you roll back....you should...if you don't that means your caliper is stuck...

i does roll back, a friend just told me that the sliders are out to far and therefor no graese, meaning when pads are low this happens???????

rolls back cause the pad is glazed up like a ****. 00 with that low mileage, probably never use the E-brake (???) will cause the caliper to freeze up. I wish my car had 48K miles and not double that so I can warranty some big stuff on my car instead of rebuilding it or repleacing it ( like tranny or intake manifold for instance )
